5.5 – Public safety

The Federal District Public Safety System empowers the Public Safety Secretary of State that plans, coordinates and supervises the operational employment of the Military Police, Civil Police, Firefighters and Traffic department, without interfering in the autonomy of these institutions. Besides operational measures, public safety carries out other activities to fight crime and violence and improve community life by means of preventive actions and participation in the community, projects and programs directed toward stimulating sports and music as prevention to violence and drug use.
